A new species of antipatharian coral, Allopathes denhartogi, is described from the eastern Atlantic. The species is distinguished from the two other species in the genus by spines that are larger, less dense and not arranged in verticils. Furthermore, the colony appears to reach a smaller size and has relatively fewer ramifications compared to the other species.

The type species of the genus Antipathes, (A. dichotoma Pallas, 1766) is redescribed and a neotype is designated. Differences in the size and shape of the spines, and in the size and density of the polyps are considered key characters in separating related species.

The family of antipatharian corals Cladopathidae (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Antipatharia) is revised. The family is characterized by polyps 2 mm or more in transverse diameter, six primary mesenteries, and no secondary mesenteries. The family is divided into three subfamilies: Cladopathinae Kinoshita, Hexapathinae subfam. nov. and Sibopathinae subfam. nov. The subfamily Cladopathinae is characterized by a branched pinnulate corallum with three or more rows of primary pinnules, some of which are subpinnulate. Included in the subfamily are the genera Cladopathes Brook (C. plumosa Brook, 1889), Chrysopathes gen. nov. (C. formosa spec. nov. and C. speciosa spec. nov.) and Trissopathes gen. nov. [T. pseudotristicha spec. nov., T. tetracrada spec. nov., and T....
